It is in vain to look for the elevation of woman so long as she is degraded in marriage.

To refuse political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect.

All honor to the noble women that have devoted earnest lives to the intellectual needs of mankind!

I have met few men in my life, worth repeating eight times.

If we buy a plant of a horticulturist we ask him many questions as to its needs, whether it thrives best in sunshine or in shade, whether it needs much or little water, what degrees of heat or cold; but when we hold in our arms for the first time a being of infinite possibilities, in whose wisdom may rest the destiny of a nation, we take it for granted that the laws governing its life, health, and happiness are intuitively understood, that there is nothing new to be learned in regard to it.

What an infernal set of fools those schoolmarms must be! Well, if in order to please men they wish to live on air, let them. The sooner the present generation of women dies out, the better. We have idiots enough in the world now without such women propagating any more.

Whatever the theories may be of woman's dependence on man, in the supreme moments of her life he can not bear her burdens.
